"Pixar Studios has invested in Time Warner and released three animated feature films in less than three years."

In an office building on Wishire Street, Michael Orwitz looked at a newspaper in his hand and said, "The Walt Disney management must have a lot of ideas."

"If it were just "Rat King" and "Robot Walli", it would be fine."

The peripherals of these two films are flawed, so Martin Bob said, "Animated films like "Car Story" will definitely make Disney jealous. If this film belongs to Disney, it may be able to use Disney's youth platform to sell even more terrifying peripheral sales data."

Michael Orwitz sighed, "It's already scary now, and there's never been animated movies that are as popular as "Cars" in the surrounding area. "The Lion King" did not do it back then."

Martin Bob and Michael Orwitz discussed Pixar Studio, relaxing their nerves that had been tense recently, and the topic turned back to their own company.

"Aa, Im and William Morris are obviously united." Martin Bob's face was not relaxed. "Our first-level customers have lost more than 50%. Although the second-level customers have fewer people, the few who have potential have basically been targeted."

He looked at Orwitz, "Michael, what do you think?"

"These three companies have reached a tacit understanding." Michael Orwitz rubbed his eyebrows and said slowly, "There should be someone pushing it behind it. This is not a conspiracy. It is an open and honest approach to us. What else can we do besides fighting?"

Could it be that you went to find a killer to kill all the three major brokerage companies and the hand behind the scenes?

"What if we lose?" asked Martin Bob worriedly.

Michael Orwitz shook his head, "Even if you lose, it's not the end of the day. We just retire early and leave this circle."

As long as he retires early, all the grudges surrounding him will inevitably disappear immediately.

His dispute with the three major brokerage companies and the other person comes from business, but when he has no commercial value, even if he asks them to take action, those people may not be able to pay attention.

After fighting in Hollywood for so many years and the disastrous defeat at Disney's term, Michael Orwitz knew that he was far from as powerful and important as he had imagined.

Thinking about it now, the media and editors who praised him at the time were harmed to a certain extent.

Those people said that he was the emperor of Hollywood. The masters of celebrities and directors were the real controller behind Hollywood's scenes, and he himself took it for granted.

It is extremely dangerous for a person to be unable to see his or her environment and being lost in his or her mind...

Although he didn't care much about these remarks, it affected his judgment somewhat. In addition, he wanted to leave AA and go to a higher platform to develop, but because of his lack of ability, he lost in Disney's complex personnel struggles. He eventually fell to his current state.

Rather than saying that he lost to Duke Rosenberg, he lost to himself.

What is the emperor of Hollywood, the master of stars, and the real master behind the scenes...

To this day, Michael Orwitz has seen clearly. What do these count in front of film companies that join a large media group? They are just jokes.

If he had another chance to start over, he would always keep a clear mind like Duke Rosenberg. He would not take himself too seriously and move forward step by step...

Unfortunately, with his age, there is no chance to start over.

Michael Orwitz sighed heavily. If there was no miracle or a reversal event, the fate of the artist management company could not be changed. Although he could bow his head and admit defeat when necessary, he could never understand one thing.

Why is Duke Rosenberg so strong and calm?

The other party has encountered a crisis. He can maintain a calm mind every time. Even if the response speed is sometimes not fast enough, it is absolutely stable enough. For example, the fire on the set, the Mel Gibson incident, etc., can withstand the pressure like a mountain with a strong will, and propose corresponding countermeasures with a calm mind. With the assistance of a whole team, cleverly turn the disadvantages into favorable advantages.

That doesn't seem like a young man should have at all.

When it comes to strength, calmness and even cruelty, Duke Rosenberg surpassed him several years ago.

Michael Orwitz is very sure of this.

However, it is not that easy to quit Hollywood if he wants him to give up completely.

Although he had the idea of ​​retirement, Michael Orwitz would not quit. Anyway, he couldn't stay in this circle for too long and could use the resources in his hands to choose the right opportunity to launch the last and most powerful attack on Duke Rosenberg.

To achieve this goal, it requires tolerance and waiting. Michael Orwitz is not lacking in patience now.

After paying a little attention to "Robot Walli", Duke's attention to the market has been more focused on "Dark Knight". It is approaching Christmas and the film is still being screened in North America, but the number of theaters has dropped to 200, and the box office growth rate is not much faster than that of the snail.

In recent months, the North American box office of "The Dark Knight" has risen by more than $12 million, and the North American box office has reached $579.96 million, almost no longer rising.

Overseas, the film has been offline from most countries and regions. Although there are still some markets showing, the overseas box office figure of US$575.77 million is basically no room for growth.

The screening of this film has reached its final stage.

At present, Warner Bros. is suppressing discs, waiting for the Oscar nomination list to be released, and release different versions of DVD discs while the price is hot, and then make a big profit in the global market.

Duke has no objection to this, and his share contract includes all the income from peripheral products.

Although he is rich now, most of Duke's assets come from the stock market and some real estate, and the amount of liquidity is not large. If there is too much money, it is indeed a digital game, but no one will dislike it, but will enjoy it.

Just like those professional film critics critics criticize, Duke is a very ordinary person, and his taste is not very elegant, so it is naturally impossible to avoid vulgarity.

Even if he doesn't need these shares, he can donate them to his own charity foundation to earn some good reputation.

Like all the rich, even if they are not very keen on charity, Duke will participate. He has a charitable foundation with open and transparent accounts, and he donates a lot of money and materials every year. He even advocates the world to pay attention to hungry children in Africa, and has thrown out millions of dollars for this.

“The situation in Africa is even worse than expected.”

A spacious RV slowly drove into the private apron of the airport. Tina Fei looked at the private plane still gliding in the distance and said, "Ska sent me a few photos of her, which were shocking."

"Scar seems to have an event." Duke looked at the plane and estimated that it would take several minutes to arrive. He was not in a hurry to get off the car, and said to Tina Fey, "It will be held in cooperation with Marvel Comics next year, and you can go together."

"Go together?" Tina Fei didn't show any interest. "Forget it, I think North America is pretty good and I don't want to go to places like Africa."

In front of Duke, she didn't need to hide her true thoughts.

Duke pushed open the car door, walked down, stood in front of the car, and looked at the plane getting closer and closer, and said to Tina Fei who was walking over, "I plan to let you manage the upcoming foundation for saving hungry children."

"Management is OK." Tina Fei blinked and said deliberately, "But management doesn't need to go to those places in Africa in person, right?"

It’s one thing to sympathize, it’s another to go to that kind of place in person.

A huge Boeing passenger plane slowly slid over. This was the Boeing BBJ customized by Duke to Boeing. Its first flight after its delivery was Scarlett's African charity ambassador.

Such activities are quite helpful to Scarlett's career.

And when we went there, there were several senior officials from the United Nations Refugee and UNICEF, and the destination was not those chaotic countries and regions, otherwise Duke would not have agreed so happily.

The airplane cabin door opened, Scarlett Johnson walked out first. She immediately saw Duke, couldn't help but speed up, quickly walked down the spiral ladder, and rushed over.

Seeing Scarlett almost trotting, Duke opened his arms and hugged her tightly.

"Hey, dear."

Tina Fey on the other side shook her eyes at Scarlett, "You look a little dark."

"Is that?" Scarlett immediately became nervous, "I think so, but Sophia said I didn't get dark, so she didn't care."

Duke then realized that one person was missing from the plane and asked Scarlett, "Where is Sophia? Didn't she go with her?"

"Sofia has gone to South Africa," Scarlett explained simply, "She went to Johannesburg to meet Charlize Theron and wanted to invite her to work on a South African-themed film."

"They want to cooperate?"

With a slightly frowning, Duke recalled that there was no memory of Sofia Coppola and Charlize Theron's collaboration, but he didn't like Sofia's former production style, and he might not have seen it.

"Get in the car." Duke opened the door for Scarlett, "Let's go home first."

"Linda, be careful about your luggage."

Scarlett turned his head, gave his assistant a command, bent over and got into the car, waited for Duke to sit next to him, and said, "Are you really going to hold a Christmas charity party?"

"Aren't you a charity ambassador?" Duke made a driving gesture to the driver and said, "Since you just returned from Africa, you will definitely feel something, and we should also make some measures." (To be continued)
